Well I started my project. Its a 1981 Eliminator bubbledeck powered by a Ford 460BBF. I decided it was time for a change so the boats now in the hands of Sal over at Orange County Boat Repair. Sal and his crew are capping the hull, filling in the transom holes, adding a thicker transom plate, filling in gauge holes and making the gunnel brand new. They are also renewing the inside by filling all stringer holes, sanding floor and adding gunnel plates so I can bolt in the new tanks. I also asked for some advice the other from you guys with what you think I should do with the motor. Keep the ford or build a Chevy. I weighed out my options and decided to build a Chevy BB instead. Gave the first installment to the engine builder to get the ball rolling. Boat should be done by December as well as the motor. Hopefully the boat will be getting rigged in January and I can get it back in the water by summer. Here are some pics of what I got so far.
